We've got an exciting new feature being prepared - one which should be of interest to many RPG forums (although I believe many other types of forum will still find the features useful). We have been revamping our "Additional Profile Options" feature - the feature which lets you add extra fields to users profiles. We've been attempting to expand its uses and generally make it easier to use.

Before we launch it on all forums we would like a couple of forums to give it a try first - just to make sure it is as good as it can be!

If you're interested then just post below (or PM) the link to your forum. We'll let you know when/if the new features are there for you to try. There shouldn't be any downtime associated with this upgrade so if you make regular use of the additional profile options feature and would like to help us improve it then please let us know.

Great I've got two bits still to finish up (no idea when I'll get around to being able to do them) but will let you know when we're ready to roll.

Any other takers? As I say in the opening post, these features are not just for RPG forums, I believe they are things many forums will find handy such as total control over the Instant Messenger profile fields

Have had bit of a delay with timescales (I've just been very busy with another project). I now just need to make some changes to the API to stop it from breaking after the switchover. Then we'll be ready to roll

Have just been finishing getting it setup on the main forum server. I have to say that I am very happy about the improvements made to it. Just little things but I can see they will make it so much easier for admins to use

Will try to get the test forums converted early tomorrow (just incase there are any issues).

All of the forums listed above should now be running v2.4 (you can check by looking in your footer - the version number is listed there). Everything seems to have gone OK. A couple of hiccups but I soon got them sorted. Do let me know if you find anything out of the ordinary or not working as expected - especially anything with modifying your profile, updating the additional profile options or marking boards as read
